StarMage Needs Your KickStarter Support!

STARMAGE-00-CVRHey Atlanteans and all of our Earth Station One listeners! Yours truly, JC De La Torre of Transmissions From Atlantis, has launched a kickstarter campaign for our comic book StarMage.

You can find it here: http://kck.st/10BwYDB

Star Mage is about Darien Connors, a gifted 14 year old boy who discovers that not only is he not human but he’s part of an ancient war between alien magical races. While he learns of his legacy, destiny and importance to the battle, Darien establishes bonds with new, strange friends and learns his magical craft of Kishpu.

The first series consists of all of these elements as well as setting up the mythology of the Sarru Kishpu, the world of Eridu and their enemies. We’re introduced to Darien’s three friends – Unura, Tirwa and Anthaar – each aliens with their own powers that become crucial in the end game against their hated enemy Orasmas Xul Sarrum. We’re introduced to the school – Lambdu Kishpu. We learn of the hierarchy of the royal court and parliament of Eridu. While the story starts on Earth, we will be taken to the far reaches of the galaxy, meet new races and discover strange new worlds.

The first issue was illustrated by comic industry veteran and ultra-talented Ray Dillon, whose credits include the Game of Thrones webcomic, NY Times best selling graphic novel The Last Unicorn and RL Stine’s web comic series.

We’re hoping to fund the completion of the first book and begin Issue #2 of the six issue mini-series but we can’t do it without your support!

If you’re unable to assist monetarily, passing the word to your comic loving friends and fam will be just as good!

Appreciate the support folks, thanks!

Have Droid Will Travel! Get Transmissions From Atlantis on your Android Phone with our new App!

We know how much you love Transmissions From Atlantis. So much so, you want to be able to listen to us when you at home, on the road, in the car - wherever.  While you can certainly do that by going to the website, we thought we’d make life easier for users with the Droid operating system on their smart phone.

Introducing Transmissions From Atlantis – the App. With our new handy dandy application, you will get instant access to our latest episodes, plus news, a messaging center to contact us and all of Meridith’s TFA website articles – including the popular Friday Fiction.

To get the app, simply go to your Google Play store on your phone and search “Transmissions From Atlantis” or click this link or the image of the droid phone in this post.

IPhone users, not to fret. Transmissions From Atlantis is still available on ITunes and we are working on an IPhone app (we’re waiting to see the implications of IPhone 5 and whether we have to build a different dev kit…but that’s all back of the house stuff – no worries – we’ll get it figured out).
